I don't think this is LOL

Thursday, March 24, 2011: I believe historians will note this as the day the English language died. On that day, the Oxford English Dictionary — the bastion of all that is grammatically great, the stalwart defender of laudable lexicon — officially admitted "LOL," "FYI," the heart symbol and more into its ranks.

And the world of Twitter was buzzing. Let's see what people had to say. We promise we'll use words.

DeathStarPR LOL and FYI have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Somewhere in 1596, Shakespeare begins to weep inexplicably.

DepressedDarth FYI followers: LOL and FYI were added to the Oxford English Dictionary today. Now, teachers can't correct their use in papers.

chrish0531 LOL and FYI have been added to Oxford English Dictionary. Is Twitting and Googling on there too?

RonyDelgarde The word "Tweet" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Now, teachers can accept all essays and papers to be 140 characters...lol!!

Screen Legend Passes Away

"She can't sing. She can't dance. She can't perform."
Edward Muhl, Universal Pictures' production chief, was talking about 9-year-old actress Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away this morning, after proving Muhl considerably wrong by performing in more than 70 movies and television shows between 1942 and 2003.
She also won two Academy Awards, and the American Film Institute named Taylor seventh on its Female Legends list.
Her other job, apparently, was to get married as often as possible. She was married eight times to seven husbands.
One wonders if, instead of saying "I do," she started saying "For now."

Sammy Hagar Tells The Tale of Van Halen

If you were into music during the 1980's and 1990's you no doubt heard a little van halen. maybe you heard a lot of Van Halen.
For fans, it didn't matter too much if it was David Lee Roth or Sammy hagar singing, it was all about Eddie Van Halen's guitar licks.

When Roth left the band people swore it was because his ego overshadowed everyone. Roth blamed it on Eddie, but not many people bought it.

Sammy Hagar has now released a book, talking about his days as lead singer of Van Halen.

Roth may have been right after all....

@RollingStone Eddie Van Halen probably wishes Sammy Hagar had been abducted by aliens. Read our excerpt of Sammy's new memoir: http://bit.ly/geIaxI

@AnnisaRizkyP RT @eonline: Sammy Hagar: Aliens "Either Downloaded or Uploaded" His Brain http://eonli.ne/igHRUh

@ekessdotcom Sammy Hagar's fixation on Tequila is no doubt a result of him trying to drink away the memories of his alien abduction.

@HeidisMpls Sammy Hagar recently said that his brain was abducted by aliens. Oh man, that was going to be my excuse. ;) zilla

@Carly_Keeny in a post charlie sheen media landscape, sammy hagar's alien abduction is crazy lite http://ow.ly/4iKqs

@jjjjrich sammy hagar is trending but david lee roth is van halen

Rebecca Black Gives Music a Bad Name

Once again proving tone deaf people have absolutely no clue how horrible they sound, meet Rebecca Black.
Other than being rich enough to afford a production company to write her song, add backing vocals and make a video, Black is completely talentless. And apparently clueless.

Her video has received 10 million hits on YouTube, mostly because it is the most awful thing ever. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself and make your own decision. But don't say I didn't warn you.

Anyway, she is a Trending Topic on Twitter, but that is mostly because people can't get enough of making fun of her lack of talent....


@Bieber_babes94 Weekend :) FRIDAY:D r u happy now rebecca black?;)

@HellYeahBiebz I'm just happy that there're a lot of amazingly talented people i can look up to. That means Rebecca Black won't take over.

Flogging Molly For St. Patrick's Day

If you are wearing green and a "Kiss Me I'm Irish" button today, you might just be celebrating St. Patrick's day. And why not? It is the one day of the year everyone in American can claim some little bit of Irish heritage and if they can't, well, we won't hold it against them.

As long as you are feeling Irish why not tune in some great Irish music with the band, Flogging Molly...they are all the rage on the Twitter:

Nate Dogg Dead at 41

Rapper Nate Dogg has died. He was just 41 years old.

He was born in Long Beach, California, sang in the choir at New Hope Baptist Church and was a United States Marine. He recently formed a gospel choir called Innate Praise.

As a member of the rap group 213 he shot to stardom after garnering the attention of Dr. Dre. He signed a contract with Death Row Records in 1993.

His family has released no details regarding the cause of his death, only that Nate Dogg has died.

Julius Caesar on Twitter

Julius Caesar died 2054 years ago this week, and yet he has managed to make it to the top of the Trending Topics list on Twitter.
That might have something to do with the way he died, stabbed by his senators, or maybe it has something to do with the play written by William Shakespeare. Or maybe it is our love with all things ancient--whatever it is, Julius Caesar is still a hot topic.....

@sian_k Impressed twitter picked up on the whole Julius Caesar & the ides of march thing, what with today being the ides of march & all

@True2LifeMusic Today is 'The Ides of March', the day on which Julius Caesar was betrayed & assassinated by his fellow Senators in 44 B.C. #WatchYourBack

@inboundmildred Julius Caesar failed to 'beware the Ides of March' and was assassinated on this day. What a shame. He really knew how to toss a salad.

@DustyTrice I also like how Twitter has had some Historical trending topics lately. Yesterday, Einstein. Today Julius Caesar. Thanks nerds.

@D_Livesay To help remember Julius Caesar's death, I might have to get myself a Brutus Salad at work tonight (thats a caesar salad with a knife in it)

@ElleanoreRigby Julius Caesar was killed on March 15th 44 B.C. He was told beware "the Ides of March" prior to being killed..thus why Ides are stil around

@B_Lyrikal One this day today Julius Caesar was killed. WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT JULIUS or #ideasofmarch ?? Not me.

@choochoobear "Julius Caesar" was the first Shakespeare play I read on my own - I was 13. It will always have a place in my heart, and many in my back.

@HoustonTaxHelp Experience is the teacher of all things. -Julius Caesar

@BaltimoreTom Sileo in pacis Julius Caesar. Goodnight dulcis Procer. #idesofmarch

Tsunami on Twitter

Los Angeles Times:

Twitter response to Japan earthquake, tsunami is fast, widespread

Reporting from New Delhi

Just as Egypt has been cast as the Twitter revolution, so Friday's massive Japanese earthquake and tsunami was destined to become the Twitter disaster.

In 140-character bites, the story unfolded: the shock and terror; the sense of human frailty mixed with lifesaving information; the messages of those seeking comfort and those seeing some kind of divine retribution, all mixing at hyper-speed.

"Poor japan," said one typical sentiment. "Prayers to Japan and anyone in the path of the tsunami," said another.

"I go to sleep a happy girl and I wake up to a horrible earthquake in Japan and tsunami warnings," said one posting....

True Emotion on Capitol Hill

CNN.com:

Hearings on the alleged radicalization of Muslim Americans are neither "radical or un-American," congressman Peter King said in opening the controversial House Homeland Security Committee session Thursday.

King, a Republican from New York, said recruiting young American Muslims is part of al Qaeda's strategy to continue attacking the United States and called on Americans to reject The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a prominent Muslim American advocacy group in the United States.

The first of a series of hearings opened Thursday morning despite strong criticism from American Muslims, who have called them an unfair attack on loyal citizens and a dangerous break from the traditional U.S. embrace of tolerance and pluralism.....

Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison, the sole Muslim member of Congress, delivered sharply critical testimony. Blaming the entire Muslim community for the evil and violence of individuals, Ellison said, is "the very heart of stereotyping and scapegoating."

Earlier on CNN's "American Morning," Ellison said the "hearing actually could set us back because it reinforces the al Qaeda narrative, which is that America is at war with Islam."

Ellison faulted King for arranging anecdotal testimony rather than inviting more law-enforcement authorities or experts in terrorism, including FBI or CIA agents. He said people who don't know that would be inclined to see the hearing as a good idea.

"They think that we're having a legitimate hearing based on real investigation," Ellison said. "What we're actually doing is having a theatrical performance not really designed to get to the heart of the matter."

Sounds like McCarthyism to me....

Rep. Peter King has been catching a lot of flak for hearings about whether or not Muslim-Americans are doing their fair-share to stop all the terrorist attacks that are constantly happening in our country that he'll be holding later this week. But what people fail to realize is that he knows from whence he speaks.

In Remembrance of Stanley Kubrick

It has been more than a decade since the death of director Stanley Kubrick. He was fresh from completing work on the film, Eyes Wide Shut, starring Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.
Kubrick is perhaps best remembered for his work on 2001: A Space Odyssey. He also helmed A Clockwork Orange, Spartacus, Lolita, The Shining and Full Metal jacket.

Kubrick has a certain style, a certain flair for film making which some say was a holdover from the Golden Ag of Hollywood. I say, the guy made great films. He will be missed....and he is Trending on the Twitter:

@Aaron_Nagler Stanley Kubrick passed on this day in 1999. One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history: http://youtu.be/fNvGyNrWZG0

Mike Huckabee takes On Natalie Portman

Mike Huckabee seems to be taking page out of the Charlie Sheen playbook. All this week he has repeatedly made statements that his office has later apologized for, claimed were taken out of context or just sound a little loopy (to me.)
Like saying Natalie Portman was setting a bad example because she is an unwed mother. Um, last time I checked she had enough money in the bank to buy his next office for him--not that she would, mind you. But I figure, if you're an adult who is rich enough to pay your own bills, have insurance and do whatever you want whenever you want, feel free to have a baby.


@MariaRSmith His "Murphy Brown" moment? RT @ModernMom: Presidential hopeful MIke Huckabee slams Natalie Portman http://bit.ly/f2nvWu

@ChicoDelainky Mike Huckabee Slams Natalie Portman For "Child Out Of Wedlock" I’m sorry did we miss Bristol Palin's Wedding?

@ChrisRRegan Mike Huckabee's son hanged a stray dog at a boy scout camp in 1998 & carried a loaded gun onto a plane. Your move, Natalie Portman's fetus!

@more_is_less Mike Huckabee's books - “Character Makes a Difference,” and “Do the Right Thing.” Is he kidding?

@denisleary I think Mike Huckabee is high on a drug called Mike Huckabee.

@ChrisRRegan Mike Huckabee's son hanged a stray dog at a boy scout camp in 1998 & carried a loaded gun onto a plane. Your move, Natalie Portman's fetus!

@EPeterman Mike Huckabee has nothing better to do than criticize Natalie Portman for an out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Really, dude?

@starsinabottle Dear Mike Huckabee: If Natalie Portman is horrible for being pregnant "out of wedlock," then what say you about Bristol Palin?

@AaronMFlynn Mike Huckabee says Natalie Portman's pregnancy sends a bad message. No word yet on the effect asshole ex-governors have on kids. #p2

@mikeschaffer Of all the "single mom" actresses Mike Huckabee could have picked on, engaged Natalie Portman, fresh off Oscar win, was a very bad choice.

McLobster anyone?

You can learn something new every day on the Twitter. Today I learned McDonald's sells a McLobster sandwich, but only on the northeastern coast of the U.S. and at some stores in Canada.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

There is a new version of Zelda on the way, called The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. If you are not familiar with the Legend of Zelda, well, you have obviously never played a Nintendo game system before.
Zelda has himself become a legend among gamers. The fantasy role-playing game (if it can be called that) has attracted millions of devotees who play and re-play all versions of the game.
No doubt this will be a top seller, just as all the others have been....

Original Bombshell Jane Russel dies

Jane Russel, 89, the star of Gentleman Prefer Blondes with Marilyn Monroe, has died. She was 89.

Russell was the quintessential sex symbol. The most popular sex symbol of the 1940's-1950's. During World War II just about every soldier had a picture of Russell in his foot locker or in his pocket. And for good reason. She was tall, a leggy brunette with smoldering dark eyes and a sultry voice that could melt butter.

She will be missed....unfortunately, many of the posts honoring her on Twitter have been linked to spam websites. Disgraceful....these, however, are real. Like Russell herself.

@blockbuster We're sorry to hear about the passing of Jane Russell. She was a true icon of the golden age of Hollywood.

@katyperry R.I.P the original BOMBSHELL, Jane Russell. Love you, we'll miss you.
